Luke 2:8-20
interesting facts to take heed
1. a watchful shepherd - watched the flocks even at night - i was just wondering why must the angels appeared to those shepherds who watched their flocks at night? i reckon God actually sees the hunger and desperate hearts that long to see salvation of their loves one.
2.they hurried to see baby Jesus when they were told about His birth
3.they told others about what has been told to them and seen by them. everyone amazed and the shepherds returned with a great joy and praised and worshiped God for the things they have heard and seen which were just as they have been told things that i learned today
1. a good shepherd must be watchful (vs 8)
2. an example and perfect shepherd is Jesus
3. therefore, every shepherds (we) must take heed of what God has said and share it to others (vs 17). the only way to know what God has to say to you to do is through reading the word of God and surely God will impart to you His heart, i.e. He will tell you your tasks.
4. the last point i called it "rewards". we will find joy when God's promises are fulfilled. you will be amazed of how things happened in which you thought at the outset was impossible. i once felt an indescribeable joy in my heart when one of my friend that God has placed in my heart and the one that i have been praying for got save. it was a great great joy that i can still feel it even till today. this was the reward that God gave me. He imparted to me that He was happy to see one of His children embarked home. He shared His joy to me. i teared down when i remember this. not that i felt sad, but it is a tear of happiness.
aren't you curious to know about what makes God smiles.yea yea i know He always takes pleasure and smile even only by seeing us happy.i.e. seeing you breathing, eating, laughing, studying and playing. what i mean is arent you want to know His heart. arent you want Him to share that indescribeable joy that i was talking about. arent you to be suprised by God everyday? sure you want, dont you?
